@Desy Cheng Thanks for the review! I appreciate your practical opinion. How many inches long and wide is the detachable faux fur hood? It looks smaller than the one on my old North Face (bought about 7 years ago) , but it might just be the angle I'm seeing it from on the video.

Duck down (waterfowl) is considered inferior to goose down. The slightly higher fill power on the duck down version may mean they have similar warmth in the jacket, but anything under 650 fill power is fairly low quality, and 550 fill power goose down is honestly bottom of the barrel. At this price point, there are a TON of options: $400-500 puts you squarely in the middle of the Arcteryx range, or if you can move up to the $700-800 range, you can get a top-of-the-line Triple FAT Goose parka and be ready for Antarctic conditions. On the other end, you can buy a 650-fill power, 90/10 duck down sweater jacket from Costco for $35 and use it as a mid-layer under a shell that you already own.

The center back length of the McM isn't even 32 inches, which is short in comparison to similar parkas from other brands. Also, the hood on the McM is way too small, at least in my opinion. On top of all that, there isn't a drawcord at the waist or hem, so the body of the coat isn't adjustable at all.
